Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from the constituents: 'dump' = discard, 'faulty' = defective, 'product' = goods, so the phrase straightforwardly means to discard defective goods. This compositional pattern is common across languages and follows regular English verb + noun phrase structure, so a B1 learner who knows the component words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The phrase dump faulty product comes from the simple picture of workers throwing broken or bad items into a waste pile because they would dump the faulty product instead of selling it. So it now means 'to discard defective goods'.
